What Were You Doing in 1979? (part 5)

George Crumb released Apparition for soprano and amplified piano and Celestial Mechanics (Makrokosmos IV) for amplified piano; he also revised his Star-Child (1977) for soprano, antiphonal children’s voices, male speaking choir, bell ringers, and large orchestra.

Gary Numan and Tubeway Army released Replicas, which featured the hit single “Are ‘Friends’ Electric?”

Numan soon quit the band to release his first solo album, The Pleasure Principle.
